great thread! I'm not sure where I can find any of those things though! If you know how to extract some of the image, The Graphics Fiary has a lot of random images (more ephemera than anything). You might be able to find a plume feather there. Also, have you guys checked out Deviant Art??? TONS of resources that people create, I'd bet you'd find at least some .abr peeling paint brushes Connie. Check here
